Chirality: Problems

Problem 2/9
 

Answer:


D2
no
no i
no Sn

D2 (reflected)
The mirror image of the
D2 diagram is
nonsuperposable to
the original diagram.

Problems such as this one demonstrate the value of point group diagrams. Imagine you had to check the chirality or not so of a D2 molecule manually (e.g. twistane or C76 (D2)).
